Final Week at Judd's/WSOP update if you care!
We had three table with 23 players show up. Judd's place was popular. I was out just before break. Felt like gambling to try and acquire chips. So, I was out just before the first break. I went up against Next Door, who raised my big blind from $200 to $1500. I called with Ah2h. I got a fantastic flop and was ahead 60% to 40% without a pair. 16 outs, minus one, because Nestor bet for $2000 and I went all in. For the additional $1500 of course he called. He turned over to red Queens. The flop was 7h-5h-3s. The turn and river did not help me out. That was all she wrote or I can write as I chipped everyone up and left at break. Well at least Baker went out before me. He was caught in a hand with TK. Baker originally raised for 650 and then TK called. The flop came Jd-9d-4s. TK checked and Baker bet 650 again, TK called. TK bet 1500, Baker went all-in and TK called. Baker showed A-J and TK J-9. The river was no help.
So, some results to see where everybody stands for Saturday would be great! Kevin if you need to run the math for chip counts and pay outs let me know.

See some of you Saturday, I am pretty sure. I was 8th, barring some big miracle, as Kevin referred to it, it would have to be a "perfect storm". Here's hoping since I didn't do myself any favors with my loose play.
